Take the guesswork out of height adjustment on your router table with Sherwood’s new RLIFT-6 Router Lift & Mounting Plate, designed for use with the SRM-1000 Round Body Motor or other compatible 3.5in motors. An excellent and affordable upgrade for any woodworker’s router table, perfect for the enthusiast or pro woodworker alike.
Machined from 9.5mm thick anodized aluminium, the mounting plate is checked for flatness for a perfectly smooth surface closest to the bit. The RLIFT-6 features a two-pillar design with a sturdy and secure motor cradle, machined from a single piece of alloyed metal. With basic maintenance, this router lift won’t ever stick or skew providing you with years of smooth operation.
Featuring an American standard 298x235mm mounting plate, it will fit into all Sherwood router tables, and other market standard router tables. Six grub screws installed along the edges of the mounting plate ensure a perfectly level fit on the lip of the router table. The included starter pin can be mounted either to the left or the right of the bit.
The height of the router cradle is adjusted above the table using the supplied height adjustment winder handle. The winder has a smooth action with no backlash, and the plate also features a micro-adjustment dial to complete your routing bit settings accurately. A locking mechanism ensures there is no height deviation as you’re working. No more fumbling underneath to get that right bit height.

Precise height adjustment
The height of the router cradle is adjusted above the table using the supplied height adjustment winder handle – no more fumbling underneath to get that right bit height. The winder has a smooth action with no backlash, as well as a micro-adjustment dial to complete your routing bit settings very accurately. A locking mechanism ensures there is no height deviation as you’re working.
Micro-adjustment dial
Each time the crank handle is fully rotated, it changes the height of the router bit by +-1/20in (1.27mm), which equals the distance change of one thread. Zero out the height settings of your router bit by locking the height adjustment and dialling the micro-adjustment gauge to “0”.
